I will do my absolute best to answer any and all questions / suggestions posted here in a timely manner. It would help if you, the poster would start a 'NEW DISCUSSION' when appropriate. Otherwise, I can envision the possible oversight of a new post being 'lost' within differing subject matter when simply added / injected to an existing (differing) post dialog. The NEW DISCUSSION option is available directly above the dialog box. Thanks guys! Mike This message was edited by efv8 on 10-11-09 @ 1:35 PM

Hi Mike ,can not find a nut yet, but here is the big Question,, I have a real nice set of door handles off of another car, what do you think of shortening the shafts and having them threaded. I think the machine shop at my old school could do it easily.

As a retired Tool & Die maker I can tell you with some authority that yes, threading the end of the shaft and drilling and tapping a hole in the end is no big challenge. What will be a bit of a challenge is how you would mount the handle to do such work. I would strongly suggest you purchase a piece of 3/8" square cold rolled key stock and have the threads and tapped hole machined on that. Then, cut off the shaft on your handle, perhaps 1/2 way down the shaft and weld the appropriate length of your 'new' piece on that. Remember that the threads on the outside of the shaft are left hand. The stock must be mounted in a lathe and the threads tooled in. Hope this helps. I can probably supply you with dimensions if need be. Mike Kubarth
